(1). Compared with free trade, domestic consumption increases by 3 units. (2). compared with free trade, domestic production increases by 3 units. (3). compared with free trade, consumer surplus decreases by atb+ctde. (4). compared with free trade, producer surplus decreases by a. For questions (5)-(7), suppose the quota is implemented as a voluntary export restraint. (5). compared with free trade, welfare decreases by buctdte. (6). compared with free trade, deadweight loss is $3. (7). the effect of the quota is identical to the effect of a tariff of $1 per unit. For questions (8)-(9) suppose Austria imposes a tariff of $3 per unit, and Austria is a large country. (8). there is no trade for Austria. (9). Austria's terms of trade improve. For questions (10) and (11), suppose Austria imposes a tariff of $1 per unit, and that Austria is a large country. (4 points each). (10). Austria's deadweight loss is smaller than $3. (11). Suppose the domestic price in Austria after the tariff is $6.5, then Austria's welfare increases relative to free trade.consider the following graph.
